Who's buying the Revolution?

I just wanted to take a survey of how many people are going to buy the revolution. I don't know if there is some out there who could make a poll thing (or wow! a widget!) but i thought you could just add one to the number from the person before if you're buying it. That way there will be a percentage at the end. For example:

The first console I bought within a month of launch was the DS. Previously I always waited at least a year. I haven't regretted it. I'm buying a Revolution at launch, or as close to launch as possible. Can't wait Even if we have a lack of launch titles, as is usual for new systems (Super Smash Bros online though, whoo), there are still hundreds of classic games downloadable.

Well it's definatley a ballsy move. Yet I don't know about the feasablilty of it. Now sure it can add some cool new elements to games. Yet it also seems to be a gimick that Nintendo is using to draw in customers. I mean yeah it would make FPS's easier on a console but I actually like the joypad controller style. Call it a guilty pleasure if you will

I cant wait to get my hands on one and it will probably be the only next gen console i purchase until the PS3 has a significant price drop, as for the xbox 360 i am totally unimpressed with everything from the graphics and games to the aesthetics of the machine and please dont get me started on the power brick....

I am not sure if I will buy it on launch day but it will almost certainly be my next console. Just the fact that it offers something unique with the controller, compatibility with my GameCube games, connectivity to my Nintendo DS and the catalogue of classic NES games has sealed the deal.

I'm thinking about it. I like what I'm seeing so far, but this go around I'm only planning on buying one system and I'm equally torn amongst all three right now. On one hand there's the 360 whch will have Oblivion and Halo 3, then there's the PS3 which will have MGS4 and GTA, then there's the Rev that will have the nintendo games and a cool new way to control them. I suppose it'll come down to whether I want a more cinematic gaming experience or a more *ahem* revolutionary one. I'm sure I'll know by the time E3 is over.

I WAS going to buy it, but I recon I'll be sensible and spend the money on my home-studio instead.

In the end, I won't know until I buy it. Would be cool, but recording your songs is also cool.

The Rev is speculated to launch between $99 and $149 (even if it was $299) what kind of home studio can you build/buy for that little amount of money? Im a musician too and all I need is a mixer, mic, and my mac! What are you looking at getting? (oh and I already have effects pedals for the guitar so I didn't include)

11/13

Im definitely getting it for a: the controller and b: its going to be cheap so why the hell not? and c: backwards compatibility of every game???? Rock on!

I'm really looking forward to it. Nintendo has never failed me, so why should they this time? I really like the idea of the controller (I just wish they had done the controller attachments wireless too). Plus, there's no way in hell I'm missing the ultimate backwards compatibility Nintendo console.

The Revolution will most probably the first of the next generation consoles I will purchase.

The 2 determining factors that rule if I buy a console early are A) Early titles available and B) Price.

I'm pretty sure the Revolution will have me covered on both fronts. It should be cheap enough and have good launch titles. (Metroid=drool) I'm not sure the new controller will be best for all kind of games, but fortunately, I'll be able to plug in a "traditional" controller when needed.

I might go for the PS3 at launch if one of my favorite franchise is available when it's released but so far I expect the price tag to be highly prohibitive. (More expensive that 360? We'll see)

I didn't buy the 360 yet because none of the games available now or announced for the first quarter are of any interest to me. (I don't like sports and racing game) Hopefully time will bring titles more to my personal taste.
